Kai Shun Classic santoku 18 cm, left-handed

The Kai Shun Classic left-handed santoku is the classic all-purpose Japanese knife in a left-handed version. Its name is usually translated as "three virtues", referring to the fact that it works equally well with meat, fish and vegetables.

The 18 cm blade, wide and with a spine that slopes towards the tip, allows a very precise vertical, forward cut: perfect for thin cucumber slices, julienned pepper or diced meat for a stew. The width of the blade also serves as a scoop for gathering what you have cut and carrying it to the pan.

It is handmade in Seki (Japan) from Damascus steel with a VG-MAX core and sharpened on both sides. The 12,5 cm handle follows the Shun Classic design but is shaped for the left hand, and the total weight is 205 g.

If you are left-handed and looking for a single versatile, high-end knife, this santoku is a safe bet.
